Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away Upright Vacuum, (NV501)

Shark NV501

This is a review and demonstration of (a sort of “how to” video) of the above vacuum cleaner. Most of the information is included in the linked-to YouTube video.  One of our vacuum cleaners “died” and I had been looking for a replacement.

Vacuum Cleaner Search Criteria:

  • Works well
  • Cleans effectively
  • Versatile
  • Reasonably priced
  • Excellent reviews

I finally decided on this unit.  It cost me $129.99 on Amazon.  At the time of this writing, the price is $169.99.  I don’t know if I lucked out on a Cyberweek special or the price just varies a lot.  The unit satisfies my criteria well.  When I first got it, it was a bit confusing because of all the parts and attachments.  I made the video to help others decide if it is right for them and as a “Quickstart Guide” for those who bought it to supplement the printed instructions that come with the vacuum cleaner.

Can I please have a YouTube video?

I do recommend the unit.  I cannot yet attest to its durability as I just got it, but having read many other reviews, I expect it to last a long time.

Final thoughts:

I found myself thinking about my maternal grandfather who went door-to-door selling Electrolux vacuum cleaners for a few years after his South Jersey chicken farm got wiped out from psittacosis. Now, here I am, reviewing vacuum cleaners …
